By the stairs leading to the elevator

The deputies’ summer holidays ended, and immediately the deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Construction and Housing and Communal Services, Svetlana Razvorotneva, like a magician, pulled another problem out of her sleeve, which urgently requires 22 billion rubles to solve.

Such surprises fit into the style of work of domestic officials. So the people’s choice S. Razvorotneva was stunned that next year more than 75 thousand elevators in the country will expire their service life. They need to be changed. And where can I get the money? No, not the mentioned 22 billion at all, their budget at least, maybe, would have withstood. But in order to generally upgrade all outdated elevators in the country, it takes more than 200 billion rubles. And that’s money!

Now the State Duma and the government are trying to figure out how to find it. Regions can allocate part of the money, and installments from the manufacturer or installer are also possible. But according to an unkind tradition, officials are going to bow to the citizens.

“It is important that there is support from the regional budget, and there is also support from residents who would agree to increase the contribution for major repairs to at least the minimum required values,” dreams Alexey Zakharov, First Vice President of the National Elevator Union. – We are talking about an additional amount of 14 rubles per square meter. This amount is real.

This optimism is understandable, the experts’ estimates really sound like a different number of elevators that need to be replaced. Deputy S. 75 thousand elevators appear in the U-turn, Rostechnadzor representative Andrey Wil clarified that 112,289 elevators out of more than 571 thousand have completed their assigned service life in Russia today! Other sources say about 140 thousand elevators requiring replacement.

That is, the numbers are getting higher and higher, they are not “beating” close, which indicates the level of mess in the elevator industry, which officials intend to compensate once again at the expense of residents of apartment buildings. Under the pretext of major repairs.
